About This Collection: 

"Empty Vessels and Stacking Creatures"
The Empty Vessel and Stacking Creature Collections represent my body and mind for these past 6 years of motherhood. I've been a vessel for children who grew inside me, birthed and left me empty. Now the empty space is for holding the thoughts, wants, and needs of my children. The spout is to pour them out leaving me still and empty again. These feelings of motherhood: from the burden of carrying these children, to the space I’ve made for them in my body and in my life, have been all consuming. At times I feel poured out with nothing left to give, other times I'm so full I'm overflowing, but my own vessel, full or empty, is the support and foundation of our family: I must pick them up and carry them, one by one, stacked on me as we move along in this life. I am still an empty vessel, but ready to be open and filled up. I will make space for life, water, creativity, and for my own thoughts again when the time comes. For now these vessels are ready to be filled, used, poured, stacked, and emptied. One day they will be resting.

Knotwork LA was founded by Linda Hsiao in 2012, and is an evolving collection of handcrafted ceramic homegoods. Knotwork originally began as an outlet to identify work that was done during spare time, evenings and weekends with the desire to make beautiful useful things. Linda was born and raised in Orange County CA, studied industrial design at Pratt in Brooklyn and graduated 2004. She spent a decade in the eyewear industry until her desire to work with her hands and create one-of-a-kind objects led her back to Southern California and to ceramics. Linda’s move to Los Angeles in 2009 coincided with her re-interest in studio pottery and a love of exploring the outdoors, she draws on the landscape of her childhood and surroundings for much of the inspiration for her work. Which includes both functional and conceptual / decorative ceramics, woodware and home product design. Each item is proudly handcrafted by Linda Hsiao in a small home studio in Altadena, California.
